A Network for Exchange, Support and Co-operation

Today Trans Europe Halles (TEH) is one of the most active cultural networks in Europe. It provides a stimulating platform for exchange, support and co-operation between its members. 

The network brings together about 50 multidisciplinary cultural centres in more than 20 countries. TEH runs and coordinates several bilateral and multilateral cultural projects. Examples include the setting up of an Artists-in-Residency Exchange Programme and the establishment of an international cultural incubator in Lund, Sweden, and CHANGING ROOM, a mobility project for cultural operators.


Network meetings twice a year
Apart from projects and joint activities,the network invests a lot of time and resources into the biannual TEHMeetings. Trans Europe Halles’ projects, activities and meetings deal with topics such as intercultural exchange, sociopolitical themes and current global issues.The network also collaborates with several cultural organisations and networks and is actively involved in the discussions around European cultural policy. 

Focus on mobility and professional development
At the moment, two of the main focuses of Trans Europe Halles are mobility and professional development. Trans Europe Halles is dedicated to enhancing and increasing the mobility ofcultural operators; from young volunteers to mid-career and leaders. 

Future plans
The long-term aim of Trans Europe Halles’ activities linked to mobility and professional development is to perfect both a staff exchange programme and a workshop-model that can be offered as training or consultancy to cultural centres both within and outside the network. So keep your eyes open - in the future you’ll all be invited to share and exchange over twenty-five years of Trans Europe Halles’ knowledge, skills and know-how!

Mission Statement

"Trans Europe Halles is a network of independent cultural centres offering a dynamic forum for ideas, collaborations, and mutual support in the pursuit
